WOWWW!
Great responses from you guys, and so many in such a short time,awesome.
But now I'm frightened that I got myself in another hobby I don't have time for.
I have to admit I was a bit naive in thinking that there can only be SOmany Cobras out there to choose from.
I read last week about a builder that utilizes a 6" longer body than the original which sounds like a good idea if you like more room.
Racing?...no (I'm a huge F1 fan so if I ever win in the lottery I get myself an old Benetton or the likes and take it to Laguna Seca
).
And you're right, I DON'T want to go from one dangerous vehicle to another). I was thinking more down the lines of weekend cruiser either alone, with club members, or my kids one at a time, and of course with my wife if she ever finds time to do so.
So now I probably sound like all the other farts who think they can get a kit and put it together like an "Automoblox". But I don't shy away from grunt work and find reward from putting together something myself.
The idea of a smaller block engine soun ds ok to me since I don't think I want to compete with my first roadster.
I'll try to hook up with a club in my area as soon as possible although I don't know if they easily accept a drooling wannabe without wheels yet
